Thanks FJ. Already my vision in my right eye has improved substantially. A quick, painless procedure with minimal discomfort.
Avonmouth was one of my favourite ports. There were two good pubs close to the dock gates, The Miles Arms and The Royal. A short trip on the train took you to the Severn Beach Hotel which was awash with girls.
We sometimes drydocked in Mountstewart drydock after discharging cargo, and so we often got a week or two in Avonmouth, long enough to form lasting attachments. I was engaged to a local girl in Shirehampton for a couple of years, but the logistics of going down to Bristol whenever I was home on leave defeated us.
Regards,
Pat
